Bullion Market Bears Are Roaring!
Bullion Market Bears Are Taking Over!
Something very interesting is happening in gold…
The yellow metal saw remarkably heavy selling over the past two trading sessions that took it to new multi-year lows near $1,100 an ounce. Clearly, the downturn is not what gold bullion market bulls were hoping for this Summer.
And to make matters worse, an extremely important technical support level has now been broken.
Let me show you what I mean…
As you can see, gold just fell firmly below $1,150 an ounce (red line), which were the swing lows set in late 2014 and early 2015.
With that level now in the rear view mirror, it’s highly likely gold experiences additional losses in coming weeks.
Keep in mind, I mentioned the likelihood of gold dropping below $1,150 was growing quite high not long ago.
How low could the yellow metal go from here?
Let’s look to another chart…
From this weekly chart, you can see gold’s next major areas of support are at $1,050 (top red line) and the psychologically important $1,000 zone (bottom red line).
Given the abruptness of the recent selloff, along with the fact there is little fundamental reason to own gold (at least in the short-term), I wouldn’t be surprised to see the metal at $1,000 by the end of this quarter.
How do you capitalize on additional downside in gold?
I supplied Commodity Trading Research readers with a free list of the best gold ETFs a while back. As you’ll see in that article, there are two leveraged inverse gold ETFs designed to rally as the price of gold falls.
Traded correctly, those products are capable of giving you outsized returns on another gold downturn.
But here’s the caveat…
All the inverse leveraged gold funds currently available are thinly traded. As a result, they can be a bit on the tricky side to enter and exit efficiently. With that in mind, these ETFs are best left to experienced traders!
Until Next Time,

As you may know, put contracts rise in value as the price of the underlying asset falls. Thanks to yesterday’s big drop in gold, our $GLD puts are already showing a 57% gain.
